My take on Eurostile... Different proportions and some different designs.

a rounded unicase font... inspired by a logo...

i will add more letters soon

ELEVATED (REWORK) - A large 3D outline display typeface design with shadow effect.

It's inspired by the lettering from a sketch by great Dutch graphical designer "Jurriaan Schrofer".

===========================================================

This is the long overdue shadow style variant which was requested by Goatmeal and elmoyenique. It has the diagonal shading lines included (as was also presented in the original sketch by Jurriaan Schrofer)

Due to the inexperience that I had in my early days of FontStructing and the lack of proper knowledge about raster scaling, I faced some serious issues regarding the correct size distribution. This had me unable to include the diagonal lines properly into that pre-existing font with them having equal seporation and white space througout the entire design.

So instead of making a clone of my previously published version "STF_ELEVATED" and include the shadow font variant into that family as a seporate FontStruction (like I did with most other style variations back then), I decided to rebuild the full font. Putting it all together into this single re-worked font version.

This re-work has some important differences compared to the previous version. The first one, another size to grid ratio which optimizes the size distribution for digital display as well as drastically reduces the overall glyph size (more accurate version forthcoming). Some extra characters were added to the set, making it a slightly more functional basic font.

The shadow effect is the default style for this font, this also includes all numerals, punctuation marks and other symbols that make up the full font, these occupy the uppercase. The bare outline style A-Z glyphs occupy the lowercase.

Enjoy!

Schlanke Schöne is a tall condensed geometric sans serif typeface.

=======================================================

The idea behind this font was to experiment with making interresting letterforms, with fewest possible resources. In other words, fewest possible default core bricks, no filters and mostly without expert mode. The only expert mode funtion I did use was "stack" bricks to make a small number of resized compositions and composite sloped angles. The total amount of different bricks used in the font is 20.

The font design is a simple, fairly straight forward looking sans, but due to this the end result also is pretty legible and clean. I was able to get most of the features done within the design parameters, such include optical correction, diacritics, stylistic alternates and swash capitals.

Very simple, but playful fun...

The stylistic alternates and swash capitals have been stored in the "Halfwidth and Fullwifth Forms" unicode block.

Hope you like it,

cheers

A modern hairline sans style font.

===============================

design grid: 3,5 × 4,5 units

brick size filter: 2 × 2

stroke weight: 1/8

===============================

I tried to incorporate rounded letter parts and corners but this was very tricky to pull off with this thin stoke weight. The font works best at small size due to very small imperfctions.

I hope you like it nonetheless!

Based on the TekWar logo. The letters (minus Q/X/Y) are recreated from the TV series titles, the rest are my additions.

This font was inspired by the Japanese post-apocalyptic cyberpunk animation, Akira (1988). The convoluted story is set in a dystopian future, in a large megacity: Neo-Tokyo.

Unfortunately, I could not finish the Katakana characters, but the Latin alphabet was designed to reflect the style of the Japanese letters.

04.04.20. Lockdown 2020. 
Lockdown doesn't mean you cant level up.
It doesn't have to feel like you're behind bars.
It could be used as a time for personal transformation.
Affecting your outer world by expressing your inner world.
Fonstructing can be a meditative experience.
It all depends on your perspective.
You can fontstruct as a way of creating cool fonts,
or you can see it as creative expression that forms letters,
that spawn words, that serve as the visualization of thought
that manifests deeper meaning. Or not.
Peace, Health, and Wellness to all!

Fontstuff:

Uppercase = worn down brick walls
Lowercase = plain walls
| = 4 bars
- = 1 bar
( & ) = Bent pipes open/close
{ & } = Scaled pipes open/close

my inspiration for this was the font on a packaging of bricelets ...

if there's interest, i will add more letters ...

Experimental endeavor into avant-garde, reversed-contrast inspired letterforms.

I will explain the font in more detail bellow in the comment section.

 Ahh sadly due to repeatedly running into a corrupted font when I save newly made changes to it, it eventually catched up with me and tested the limit of my patience.

I have had to painstakingly restore the font 5 times already since I started it.

So I stopped including new characters as well as making new changes to its existing character set. (At least for now)

Too bad because I wouldve loved to see this truly getting finalized.

So at this stage there are still a number of characters that remain in rough condition, and had yet to be further optimized.

The main A-Z alphabet luckily already was close to how I invisioned it, but especially the numerals, symbols and accents still have some rough edges.

Now, forgetting all that, I still think it is not a bad font at all. Everything is there for most common Western-European languages, somewhat still making this a usable font that I shouldn't be keeping in private!

I hope that despite my bad luck this time, y'all still like it.

About this Font:

The idea was to make a classic Didone style display serif that is meant for making clean headline text similar to those often seen in older magazines or newspapers. I set out trying to design a semi-bold & slight expanded looking letterform with thin hairline serifs and strokes. I choose a large grid scale for the extra freedom in custom shaping this provides.

================================================

Technique I used in this design:

This font in particular I have experimented with working within a "(asymmetrical-) Grid Scale ratio" ( 1,5:1 ), so, changing only the value for the Horizontal grid scale. (This distorts the grid aspect ratio, and is a great way to discover and experiment with getting new forms and shapes).

The 1,5 : 1 ratio was specifically choosen to keep maths simple, in order to rebuild certain required bricks that build specific slope angles , such as a 45° (which is no longer possible to make from the FS default brick set when using asymmetric scale ratios, unless making composites).

But what this also does is opening up a totally new approach to making shapes, and..becoming quite a surprisingly easy shortcut to get unusual shapes or make variations on these, even with as little as just the rotation of the bricks/selection. (thanks to the distorted aspect ratio)  :-).

This is a must try for those who are into large grid designs, fake curves or interrested in experimenting around a little.

Enjoy!
